Computex 2009:AMI展示Debug RX除錯解決方案



AMI在這次的Computex 2009展示了名為 "AMI Debug RX" 的解決方案,主要是給無法安裝除錯卡的產品(像UMPC)也能讓工程師進行故障排除,包含一個除錯裝置,界面走USB,接上裝AMI BIOS的產品後,除錯裝置就能顯示代碼,如果是硬體上的問題,就能從代碼得知開機過程中哪個硬體出問題。

Debug RX上面有兩個micro USB,一個可以接欲故障排除的硬體,另一端則可接電腦,透過Debug RX的軟體,可以對該硬體進行更進一步的操作,像是更新韌體等。另外,Debug RX裝置裡面有快閃記憶體與micro SD插槽,可以讓工程師們將BIOS Dump出來以儲存,或是從Debug RX讀取新韌體以作更新。

AMI表示未來還會推出比較低階的版本,目標是玩家市場。

<Computex 2009: AMI Debuts Debug RX Debugging Solution>
In this Computex 2009, AMI have demonstrated one "AMI Debug RX" debugging solution for computing equipments which could not have used conventional debug card, such as an UMPC. The solution includes an USB debugging device which can be connected to computing devices with AMI BIOS. Once connected, the debugging device can display a series of debug codes which reflects the current states of the hardware being connected.

Debug RX contains two micro USB ports, one for connecting to the hardware that's being debugged, and the other one for connecting to a PC which have the Debug RX software installed. The software allows engineers to perform remote repair/debug functions such as upgrading BIOS. Furthermore, Debug RX device contains flash memory and SD slot which allow engineers to store BIOS dump in Debug RX or upgrade BIOS through firmware stored on Debug RX. A lower-end model may be available in the future for DIY enthusiast and alike.
